Politics Tries To Curb Press. Cartoonist Says
Albert T. Reid, nationally-known cartoonist told a journalism convoitation Oct. 21 that students have "no idea how much politics and how much law is being used to curb the press."
The native Kansan spoke in 102 Journalism building following an introduction of several guests by Burton W. Marvin, dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, including the former Sen. Arthur Capper and his sister. Mrs. Alfred Eustice, Evanston, Ill.
Mr. Reid, who at one time attended the University, asserted that freedom of the press is "the first of all your freedoms and without it you can not have any." He said that the attack on the comic strips as a cause of juvenile delinquency is "actually an attack on the freedom of the press."
Citing an example in the James family, he said that the reading of comic books did not lead to the delinquency of Jesse James.
"Just because a few comics are bad," Mr. Reid maintained, "is no reason to condemn the whole lot."
Mr. Reid said that since cartooning is the highest paid field in the newspaper business, he hoped that the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information would develop a course in editorial and comic cartooning.
Mr. Reid, who for 18 years was the publisher of the Leavenworth Post and the Kansas Farmer, told the convocation of a new historical side-light on why Theodore Roosevelt's bid for a third term nomination was suddenly dropped. He said that the story had never been printed because it had developed from a speech given by David Brewer, justice of the U.S. Supreme court, at a banquet for the Gridiron club.
About a week after this meeting, Mr. Reid and Justice Brewer were at a dinner at the home of Eugene S. Ware, U.S. pension commissioner.
Since Mr. Reid and Mr. Ware had not been at the Gridiron banquet, Mr. Ware asked Justice Brewer what he had said at the banquet. Mr Reid quoted Justice Brewer as saying: 'Gene, I didn't say much. I just observed that if the constitution had been finally adopted as its term nomination.'
framers had originally planned it, we would have been spared the spectacle of a president playing hide and seek with himself for a third
"Since everything that is said at a Gridiron club meeting is off the record, no mention of this incident ever appeared in a newspaper.
"I felt that since I was the publisher from Justice Brewer's home town, Leavenworth, Kansas, I could not print the story, even though I had not been at the Gridiron banquet."
Ise Praises Denmark For Social Security
The common people of the world want decent social security and some of the good things of life, Dr John Ise told members of the Unitarian Liberal fellowship Sunday.
The professor of economics, speaking on his experiences as a teacher in Denmark the past summer, compared Danish social security methods with those of the U.S.
"The Danish budget allows twice as much money for social security as for war, while the U. S. apportions 20 times as much for war," he said. "Of course, Denmark doesn't have to finance war all over the world like we do."
The economics expert believes the United States should copy the Danish method of appropriating social security funds
"To make their social security plan work, the Danes must give up such American 'necessities' as cars and good plumbing, but they don't mind taking a bath just once, a week," Dr. Ise said.

Big Rally Greets Victorious Team
A victorious K.U. football team was welcomed home by approximately 500 students in a Sunday morning rally at the Santa Fe station.
Students stood on cars, crates, and baggage wagons to cheer the team. As the train stopped, the crowd counted out the 55 points scored against Oklahoma A. and M. They also sang to Coach Jules V. Sikes, whose birthday was Sunday.
After the station greeting, part of the University band, the cheerleaders, Jay James, and Ku Kui's led a march up Seventh street to Massachusetts street, where the rally was extended as the team had breakfast in the Eldridge hotel coffee shop.
Looking forward to the Jaya-
hawkers' next game, the crowd
chanted. "Beat K-State, beat K-
State. ."
KU 'Y' Members Attend Conference
Eighteen members of the K.U. branches of the Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. A. attended the annual "Y" Cluster Conference, the past Saturday, at Manhattan, Kan.
Miss Alma Jackson, physical therapy clinic supervisor at the University Medical center in Kansas City, discussed the treatment of polio through physical therapy at a meeting Saturday of the Kansas chapter of the American Physical Therapy association.
The conference was highlighted by talks and discussions of different representatives from Pittsburgh State Teacher's College, Fort Hays State, Kansas State, and the University of Kansas.
K. U. participants put on a model cabinet meeting as their part in the program. A banquet was held at the Manhattan Christian Church after the conference.
Therapist Talks On Polio Aid
Miss Lilyn Warner, instructor in physical medicine, Watkins hospital, told the group about progressive resistance exercises at the University.
Fictures were shown on "Muscle Testing" and "Muscle Reeducation," taken at the Georgia Warm Springs foundation, Warm Springs, Ga.
Richard Lee Hamilton, business senior and editor, directed a staff of 25 students who worked night and day to complete the project. The staff alphabetized registration cards, ready galley proofs, solicited advertising, and arranged the general layout of the directory.
"Difficulty in deciphering student handwriting caused our greatest headache." Hamilton said. "Beating the deadline was the result of cooperation of 75 persons directly connected with publishing the directory."
Thomas C. Ryther, superintendent of University Press, directed the printing. The job consumed 33 pounds of ink and $1 \frac{1}{2} $ tons of paper. Total work hours exceeded 2,000 Professor Rythe said.
Compiling names for the directory began in the registration line. Proctors examined cards to check the legibility of student handwriting. Next the cards were placed in alphabetical order by Hamilton and his staff. This took 60 hours of work.
Linotype operators set the names in type in 600 hours using especially-designed copyholders to speed up the work. Galley proofs were pulled and read for mistakes. Audrey Stein, Virginia Nystrom, and Mary Calkins, proofreaders, and Janice Neibarger, journalism senior, finished this work in 100 hours.
Hand composition took another 100 hours before the actual printing. Press work took 125 hours. Assembling the 16-page sections and stitching the book required 1,000 hours. This completed work on the directory and set a new record for its early publication.
During the printing of the directory, one student changed his address and telephone number three times.
The buff cover features a drawing by Paul Coker, fine arts junior. The directory will be distributed in the Union book store beginning Tuesday. Students must present their activity cards to get one.
Eighty-seven Smiths, 57 Johnson,
and 50 Joneses appear in the book.

University Club To Hear Replogle
A football coach who is also an artist, photographer, naturalist, and lecturer will entertain members and guests of the University club Thursday at 8 p.m. in the clubsrooms at $1007\frac{1}{2}$ Massachusetts street. The versatile speaker is Wayne Replogle, end coach at the University since 1940, who also has been a U.S. forest ranger for 20 years.
Mr. Replogle will show pictures from his large collection of original, full-color photographs of the Yellowstone park area, some of which were taken last summer. As senior naturalist in the park service for 14 years he has given many illustrated lectures on the west.
Except 1947 and the war years when he served in the navy, Mr. Replogle has spent every summer for 20 years in the Yellowstone area. He is one of the five oldest rangers in the park. After six years in the protective division of the park service, he joined the research division where he became senior naturalist. As such, his duties include observation of plant and animal life, writing up his findings and lecturing to groups of park visitors.
Painting in oils scenes of the west, especially the remote desert areas of Arizona, is a hobby of Mr. Replogle. Several of his paintings, including scenes in Monument valley, have been shown in exhibits in Lawrence. He has been painting for 20 years.

Club members may bring guests.
- "We were both singing with the Chorale at the time," Mr. Krehbiel said. "When Mr. Shaw heard about our plans for marriage he volunteered to conduct the Chorale at the wedding ceremony. They sang a Bach wedding cantata, the wedding march from Lohengrin, and a prayer."
In 1943 Mr. Krehbiel started singing with the Robert Shaw Collegiate Chorale, a non-professional group organized by Shaw in 1942 with the backing of Fred Waring. Mrs. Krehbiel is a charter member of the group. Her husband was president of the organization the past year.
Mr Krehbel worked with the professional Robert Shaw Chorale which is composed of 32 singers and a string ensemble from 1944 to 1949, except for the time Shaw was in the navy. He was Shaw's assistant when the group did a summer radio program and concert tour in 1948. He auditioned singers for the present group.
The Robert Shaw Chorale will be the first program on the fall concer series.
"Robert Shaw is the best thing that has happened to choral music in the United States," the former member said.
Mr. Krebbiel has nothing but praise for the choral group.
When asked about the requirements and chances of getting into choral work in radio Mr. Krehbiel said that a person "needs to sing no better than a decent bathroom baritone but should be able to read music exceptionally well." He added that a person should be prepared to support himself on his savings for at least a year.
"The accent in radio is on efficient rehearsal techniques and workmanship. The singer is required to be able to go on the air with few rehearsals as possible," Mr. Krehbiel said.
Mr. Krehbiel first appeared on television in 1945 for N.B.C. In 1947 he worked on a series of shows which depicted American life and historical events.
Mr. Krehbiel is a former member of the Holidays, a vocal group that sings on the Arthur Godfrey Talent, Scout show. He was a member of the choral group that sang the Spanish lyrics for the M.G.M. picture, "The Harvey Girls."
---
"We sang the Spanish lyrics to the orchestral accompaniment which was used in the picture. The lyrics we sang were then synchronized with the lip movements of the actors."
Mr. Krehbiel was graduated from the University in 1942. He received a masters degree from the Columbia university teachers college in 1949.
During the past four years Mr. Krehbiel has worked on approximately 30 record albums for R.C.A. and Columbia. In 1947 he trained the chorus for the recording of an album of sea songs by Leonard Warren.
He is now working on a doctor of philosophy degree in music education. He teaches music at University High school.
Mr. Krehbiel has worked with the choral groups on the Hit Parade, Fred Waring, the Firestone show, the Texaco show, the Alec Temple-on show and N.B.C. in television.
Mr. Krehbiel has worked with Arturo Toscaniini, Kris Goussevitzky, and Igor Stravisski, orchestral composers and conductors.
